With higher levels of magnification than stereo microscopes, a compound microscope uses a compound lens to view specimens which cannot be seen at lower magnification, such as cell structures, blood, or water organisms. These microscopes have multiple lenses with a magnification range of up to 1000x (but generally 10X, 40x and 100x) which produces two-dimensional images, unlike stereo microscopes which are lower magnification and produce three-dimensional images. Samples are prepared on a slide which is then held on the microscopic stage where a light is directed through the sample.
A compound microscope can come in several types such as biological microscopes, polarizing microscopes, phase contrast microscopes, or florescence microscopes with uses varying for each. When choosing a compound microscope, things to consider are magnification power, application, and whether to get a monocular, binocular, trinocular microscope.

The modern BioBlue compound microscopes are developed for educational purposes with a primary focus on ergonomics and today’s quality standards. These microscopes are supplied with secure eyepieces and adjustable rack stop to prevent damage to sample Clear and bright images at every magnification. The modern BioBlue compound microscopes are developed for educational purposes with a primary focus on ergonomics and today’s quality standards. These microscopes are supplied with secure eyepieces and adjustable rack stop to prevent damage to sample and objectives.
The DIN WF 10x/18 eyepieces and the semi plan achromatic corrected 45mm DIN objectives of the BioBlue models generate a crisp high-resolution image. When changing magnification, the image remains perfectly in focus and centered. The 130 x 130mm stage with double layered 70 x 28mm X-Y mechanical stage enable a 2µm precision positioning of the specimen.
FEATURES
- Integrated 7" LCD screen
- Integrated X-Y mechanical stage
- Height adjustable Abbe condenser with iris diaphragm and filter holder
- LED models with rechargeable AA batteries and integrated power supply
- Reversed nosepiece for four semi plan objectives
- Coaxial coarse and fine adjustments with rack stop
- Ergonomic stand
- Provided with APL (Antimicrobial Protection Layer)
- CE certified
